The use of language is a little inventive so for those having trouble, it seems the freezers at Etal Lane Police Station, in Newcastle, have broken.

They contained 82 breakfasts and 46 dinners which were thawing out.

So a member of Newcastle CID called out to Mr Timney, knowing he helps people who go hungry (due to any number of reasons, including poverty, no doubt) – possibly at a food bank, although I don’t know him well enough to say anything for certain – and offered him the food.

It’s an act of kindness that many may consider extraordinary, as it came from the police – and that is precisely why I thought it was worth flagging up.

Let’s hope other authority figures follow the example – or perhaps even try to overturn the legislation that has forced people to turn to food banks.

Brill stuff however the jobs worths will be kicking butt for releasing food in case it might be contaminated etc yawn etc . And here is good example of Con Local lame brain Councillors, and probably tame council officials, with heads where the sun does not shine doing the exact opposite to help the poor. They do not represent the local community they are selfish inhumane Con lemmings who probably want the location for some cunning plan https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/save-dover-soup-kitchen

Why don’t they investigate and charge Jobcentre staff who abuse their position? Abuse of office and corporate bullying is a criminal offence as are violations of human rights. The police could do more good by arresting a few DM’s to get the message across that killing people with red tape is not going to be tolerated any longer
